Exploring learning analytics on YouTube: a tool to support students interactions analysis
2021
YouTube is a free online video-sharing platform that is often used by students for their learning activities. The interactions of the students when using the platform to shape new concepts, are worth to be investigated to better understand and to optimize the learning opportunities that take place in this platform. In this paper, we investigate which types of data are relevant to analyse the interactions of students with content on YouTube, and we introduce a new tool that emulates students’ interactions with the platform in order to provide data to be used in supporting Learning Analytics approaches. Our preliminary study inspects the tool effectiveness in data collection and analyses the …
Protocol: A literature review about the use of crowdsourcing in educational environments
2016
<p>The objective with the protocol described in this paper is to review the existing literature in relation to the implementation of crowdsourcing in educational environments. It seeks to give answer to 4 questions. First, it seeks to answer the question of which kind of crowdsourcing initiatives are more appropriate to be used for educational activities. In second place it’s important to find out whether there is any particular discipline in which crowdsourcing, by its nature, can be applied more naturally. Third, it seeks to identify which factors influence both positively and negatively in the teaching/learning experience using crowdsourcing. Finally, the last question to answer, t…
Progress in Using an Electronic Playing Environment. A Comparative Study between Cantors and Primary Teacher Students Specialising in Music
2012
Abstract This research was executed as self-study research in a music technology learning environment designed for teacher education. It explored the functionality of music technology teaching from the viewpoints of technical, physical, and social learning environments. Moreover, connecting music theory teaching to a notation programme was studied. The target group consisted of primary teacher students, and the control group were parish cantors. The participants kept a study log and answered questions related to the teaching and subject content. These data were analysed with qualitative analysis. Group differences were examined with Mann-Whitney's U-test. Both the beginners and experts had …
Finnish students’ enjoyment and anxiety levels during fitness testing classes
2020
Background: Fitness testing is a commonly applied learning and teaching practice implemented in both secondary and elementary school physical education (PE). Many teachers believe that by using a variety of different tests, they are able to provide students with feedback regarding their fitness status, and furthermore, increase students’ willingness to be physically active later in their lives. However, empirical evidence concerning students’ affective responses during fitness testing classes is limited. Purpose: The primary aim of the study was to investigate whether students’ perceptions of enjoyment and anxiety differed between two different types of fitness testing classes and PE in gen…
Nursing students' perceptions of combining hands-on simulation with simulated patients and a serious game in preparing for clinical placement in home…
2021
Abstract Background There is a growing demand to provide complex healthcare services in patients' own homes. However, high quality home healthcare clinical placements are often difficult to obtain, and arranging laboratory-based simulations to provide relevant clinical-practical learning experiences for all students is resource intensive. Objectives The aim of this study was to explore nursing students' perceptions of using a blended simulation approach, including hands-on simulation with simulated patients and a video-based serious game, in preparation for their home healthcare clinical placements. Design An exploratory qualitative design using focus group interviews was utilized. Setting …
Drawing the premises for personalized learning : illustrations of management and accounting
2019
This paper reports on a teaching innovation using participant-generated drawings. Experienced managers were asked to produce a drawing to illustrate their work from an accounting perspective. The drawings were then used to make the managerial context of the participants the explicit starting point for personalized executive learning. This study is the first in the sphere of accounting education and research to take drawing seriously as a learning method. The results of the experiment show how drawing can be further used as a tool in management education by facilitating the visualization of the managerial contexts participants work within. peerReviewed
Promoting 21st Century Literacy Education in Zambia
2015
The aim of the project CAPOLSA (Centre for Promotion of Literacy in Sub-Saharan Africa) was to establish a strong literacy centre at the University of Zambia (UNZA). The long-term goal is to have international visibility and impact, specifically in African countries facing similar challenges to Zambia. This literacy training approach is based on the Grapho Learning Initiative and the innovative and efficient digital-based learning game, GraphoGame, that has been developed based on scientific studies led by Professor Heikki Lyytinen at the University of Jyväskylä (JYU). He was the responsible project leader, together with Professor Robert Serpell at UNZA. The project implementation period wa…
Are you ready to encounter foreign patients with infectious diseases? : developing nursing students’ language skills through educational co-creation
2019
An educational co-creation project can provide valuable information about the current needs in working life and engage students in a meaningful way thus promoting their learning outcomes significantly. The nursing students at Laurea University of Applied Sciences were involved in an educational co-creation project whose aim was to increase their knowledge of infectious diseases and to develop the contents of their language course “English for Health Care”. The project was carried out through innovative methods: a learning café and online educational material for professionals in the field. This collaboration involved the infectious diseases ward of Aurora Hospital, nursing students and lect…
Koulutus ja työelämä muutoksessa
2008
Ammattitaito on koulutuksella ja kokemuksella hankittu pätevyys toimia määrätyssä ammatissa. Useat viimeaikaiset tutkimukset osoittavat, että ammattilaiset kokevat oppineensa jopa suurimman osan työssä tarvittavista taidoista vasta työssä. Elinikäinen oppiminen voidaankin nähdä erääksi avainprosessiksi työelämän muutoksen hallinnassa. Erityisesti tämä koskee ikääntyviä työntekijöitä. Vaikka suomalaiset ovat kansainvälisesti aktiiveja aikuisopiskelijoita, vain prosentti yli 40-vuotiaista osallistuu tutkintotavoitteiseen koulutukseen. Siksi henkilöstökoulutuksella on keskeinen sija ikääntyvien aikuisten ammattitaidon säilyttämisessä.
Marginaalin ääni perusasteen jälkeisen koulutuksen kehittämisessä: Kuurojen ja huonokuuloisten opiskelijoiden kaksi koulutussukupolvea
2006
”Ruotsalaisten ja yhdysvaltalaisten tutkimusten mukaan kuurojen ja huonokuuloisten aikuisten koulutustaso, työllisyystilanne ja sosiaalinen asema ovat muuttuneet sukupolvesta toiseen siirryttäessä. Koulutus on ollut tärkeä tekijä sosiaalisen aseman muutoksessa. Näin ei vielä ole tapahtunut oppimisyhteiskunnan mallimaassa, Suomessa”, aiheesta väitellyt Elina Lehtomäki kirjoittaa. nonPeerReviewed
